bare with me I'm trying to learn
so cingular is currently deploying WCDMA (UMTS) technology correct? and it is to be followed by HSDPA upgrades in 2006. So is HSDPA completly deployed????? I think i have the above correct. so there is nothing new to be excited about until Class 10 HSDPA and then we will reach some real good speeds right? when they say 14.4 Mbps i dont have any understanding of exactly how fast that is. can someone give me some sort of guildline for me to understand better.
i got all this off your site but still what does the below mean
HSDPA is standardized by the 3GPP in UMTS Release 5. What is 3GPP stand for? Thanks

also lets say cingular was running on HSDPA 10 right now how would that compare to Sprint REV A launch? would it be the same or would sprint or cingular be faster?
lol the glossary has everything
3GPP
3rd Generation Partnership Project
meaning the three different technology steps i get it 😁

everywhere cingular has launched 3G, they have used HSDPA class 6 base stations. this means that the NETWORK is capable of 3.6 mpbs (peak) download and 350 kbps (peak) upload. HOWEVER cingular is rolling out siginificantly slower phones. the first han...

HSDPA is released in every market that has been upgraded. I think some people made it out to seem like it was only UMTS, but Cingular is deploying HSDPA from the get-go.
